It’s been a busy week- I’ve started working at the yarn shop three days a week and the extra day is super high traffic compared to my normal days of the week. So I’m kind of pooped by the time my “work week” rolls around. I try to get some posts written up in advance [...]

Yesterday I was going to post a picture of my finished dress (referred to here), but first I needed to take a picture, preferably outside since there’s too much clutter indoors. But here’s what “outside” looked like in Bozeman yesterday:

Scratch that! You’ll have to wait for dress pics (I’m calling it 80 percent successful, there [...]

I finished my orange socks yesterday. Woohoo. I am so excited about them, they make me want to try all new sorts of things and buy all sorts of yarn. Except that I think I have some stash yarn that might work for another pair. The one thing that I think is important when it [...]

Sometimes there comes a point when, as a freelancer, there just isn’t a heck of a lot going on. I’m there. And while on the one hand it starts that familiar worry of “Will I ever have a project again? Where will my $ come from?” on the other hand it’s a chance to chill [...]

First off, thanks for all of the comments on my Dishdrain Alternative. Sometimes I wonder whethere it is “worth it” to post such simple projects and it’s nice to know you like to see them. It might not be the solution for everyone, but it works for me!
On to my weekend sewing story. Last Friday I [...]

Here’s a view from Peet’s Hill, where we watched fireworks friday night. There were amateur fireworks (the $$ kind) going off constantly for the hour or so until the main show. I can’t believe how many people do fireworks here (and continue to do them all weekend long). Where I grew up, fireworks were illegal within city limits so [...]

This morning I woke up with a hankering for just a little something special to celebrate Easter, (more like spring time, for us. Although, look here….still snowing). We ran to the store so I could get some vinegar and I picked up a loaf of just baked french bread, too. We almost ate the whole [...]

I am all alone this week, as Paul is down in Texas for the College Art Association. Cue “All By Myself.” We went to the grocery store before he left (did I mention that I don’t really drive…yet…I hope) and I stocked up on some stuff I’ve missed eating. I finally gave in to the completely [...]

That’s me, above, excited to sell my wares at the Holiday Bazaar. Possibly too excited, as barely anyone came by. Due to a mix of poor advertising and who else knows what, I barely sold a thing. I’m not going to lie- it was a let down. But that just means there’s more stuff in [...]

I don’t plan on doing a lot of posting this week, as one of my best friends is coming to visit tomorrow. Yay! But, I did promise to share my recipe for cheddar corn spoon bread, and I figured I’d better do it before Thanksgiving. The recipe is adapted from Everyday Food – I add the jalapenos [...]
